BIOIDENTICAL HORMONE THERAPY
For far too long, conventional medicine has taught aging, accompanied with its life altering symptoms, is inevitable and that those symptoms cannot be alleviated, quality of life regained. Fortunately, Science has now identified aging as a Disease. One of the most important preventive treatments is Bioidentical Hormone Therapy or BHRT. Extensive medical research collected worldwide now pinpoints age related hormone deficiency is no different than hormonal imbalances of a younger person and thus, can be treated as such.

Hormone Therapies are designed to restore hormone balance and alleviate frustrating, life altering symptoms. But what is the difference between Bioidentical and Synthetic Hormones? Bioidentical hormones are exactly that - identical in chemical structure - to hormones naturally occurring within the body. They are professionally compounded in a sterile lab, by an experienced compounding pharmacist. Bioidentical hormones are made from natural substances (mainly plant based) and the pharmacist prepares customized doses depending on the prescribing physician’s request. The body accepts these hormones as its own, resulting in quick relief and little, if any, side effects.
Synthetic hormones, however, do not share the same chemical structure to the body’s naturally produced hormones. Due to this unnatural, chemical difference, synthetic hormones do not act, nor do they perform the same, when introduced into the body. The body must convert them for utilization, potentially leading to adverse side effects, health issues and disease.
According to the FDA, synthetic hormone therapy can increase the risk of severe conditions including breast cancer, strokes, gall bladder disease and heart disease. Studies have shown bioidentical hormones were found to be more effective in reducing long term risks associated with heart, bone and brain health, than their synthetic hormone counterparts. More importantly, bioidentical hormone therapy may even decrease the risk of heart disease and breast cancer—the very diseases that synthetic hormones have been shown to cause an increase risk. Bioidentical hormones are superior for symptom relief and disease prevention, on a molecular level, with far fewer adverse side effects.
